Building on Blockbuster International Headlining Tours, Leading Futurist Spitz Sets the Agenda for AI, Systemic Change, and a Multipolar World
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, December 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Disruptive Futures Institute today announces Roger Spitz’s 2026 global speaking tour themes, marking a new phase in the rapid international expansion of the defining global voice on unpredictability, systemic disruption, and decision-making under deep uncertainty. As governments, boards, and executive teams confront accelerating volatility, Spitz’s work has become a reference point for leaders seeking clarity and direction when traditional models no longer apply.
This momentum builds on a sustained series of global media engagements, headlining hundreds of conferences, executive briefings, and international speaking tours across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the UK over recent years. Alongside the worldwide impact of his bestselling, multi-award-winning book “Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World” (Kogan Page Publishing), Spitz has emerged as the leading global futurist translating uncertainty into actionable strategic foresight. His deep focus on artificial intelligence, systemic risk, and multipolar dynamics reflects the realities shaping decision-making at the highest levels.
In 2025, Spitz led landmark month-long speaking tours in the world’s key innovation hubs, most recently in Brazil, headlining flagship platforms including Amcham Talks, Future Hacker, and MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Summit. These headlining appearances followed major speaking engagements from Singapore to Geneva, London to New York, and Paris to Bangalore, where his keynotes addressed senior executives, boards, and policy audiences on navigating exponential technologies, volatile geoeconomics, and the challenges of the energy transition.
Founded by Spitz, the award-winning Disruptive Futures Institute has become the world’s capital for uncertainty and disruption, applying practitioner research and field-tested methodologies to equip leaders for a future that refuses to stand still. The 2026 global speaking tours extend this mission - challenging assumptions, reframing risk, and empowering organizations worldwide with futures intelligence designed for an increasingly unpredictable world.
With demand for his insights skyrocketing, in 2026 Spitz will continue to bring his voice to even more stages worldwide.
ROGER SPITZ’S GLOBAL KEYNOTE SPEAKING AT A GLANCE
As one of the most prolific speakers in his field, Roger Spitz inspires thousands of organizations worldwide with his acclaimed headlining keynotes. For 2026, he unveils:
• The Visionary Trilogy: Spitz’s flagship collection of three standalone keynotes - rewire mindset, reclaim intelligence, and reinvent leadership for an unpredictable world.
• Special Edition - The Future of Predictability, Risk & Finance: A timely keynote series decoding the future of risk, investments, and insurance for global financial stages and boardrooms.
• “Futures Of…” Series: From algorithmic intelligence and synthetic biology to the new space economy, Spitz explores the emerging forces and frontier domains that are reshaping industries, the future of work, society, and the trajectory of humanity.
• “Call to Impact” Global Book & Speaking Tour: Based on Spitz’s bestselling book, this global tour combines interactive keynotes, audience Q&A, workshops, and exclusive book signings.
Designed to equip organizations with the foresight and agility to navigate deep uncertainty, The Visionary Trilogy centers on three themes: Mindset, Intelligence, and Leadership.
Spitz explains, “Systemic disruptions have far-reaching effects, presenting both unprecedented challenges and remarkable opportunities. At the heart of my keynotes is the power of agency and informed optimism - where the right narratives spark virtuous tipping points. I’m excited to bring this new series to broaden the reach of our work and help organizations cultivate futures intelligence in unpredictable times.”
THE VISIONARY TRILOGY: SPITZ’S FLAGSHIP KEYNOTES COLLECTION
In a world of relentless complexity, the old rules no longer apply. You need to Rewire Your Mindset, Reclaim Intelligence, and Reinvent Leadership.
Trusted by CEOs worldwide, Roger Spitz’s Visionary Trilogy delivers three transformative, standalone keynotes that rewire how we think, decide, and lead:
• 01: The Mindset Shift – Become Visionary in an Unpredictable World
• 02: The Intelligence Shift – Upgrade Human Decision-Making in the Age of AI
• 03: The Leadership Shift – Foresight to Inspire Transformational Futures
As a top-ranked futurist and globally sought-after authority, Roger Spitz has headlined the world’s most prestigious innovation stages - from MIT Technology Review’s EmTech and Singularity University to Nasscom, the World Economic Forum, and Europe’s leading future think tank, 2b AHEAD.
Building on these defining appearances at major technology conferences and exclusive boardroom briefings, Spitz now unveils the 2026 Visionary Trilogy. This new keynote framework is designed to operationalize the seminal AAA Framework for global leadership, offering a structured approach to rethinking how executives, investors, and policymakers think, decide, and lead in a nonlinear world.
The AAA Framework (Antifragile, Anticipatory, Agility) is a cornerstone of the Disruptive Futures Institute's future-readiness approach, used globally to bridge the persistent “foresight-impact gap.” The Disruptive Futures Institute prioritizes action over abstraction.
• Trilogy Theme 01. THE MINDSET SHIFT - Become Visionary in an Unpredictable World:
Change is slow - until it isn’t. Hyperconnectivity now amplifies disruption far beyond the cyclical upheavals of the past. In this nonlinear environment, traditional assumptions and backward-looking analysis have become liabilities. This track demands a fundamental Mindset Shift from fear to foresight. By abandoning outdated playbooks and adopting a new operating system for uncertainty, we become shapers of tomorrow rather than its victims. Together, we explore uncharted waters guided by a compass built for unpredictability.
• Trilogy Theme 02. THE INTELLIGENCE SHIFT - Upgrade Human Decision-Making in the Age of AI:
Automation, augmentation, and cognification are reshaping the decision-making value chain. As algorithms advance from descriptive to prescriptive roles, this track examines the core Techistential challenge: how human judgment can retain its edge when machines encroach on higher-order decisions.
• Trilogy Theme 03. THE LEADERSHIP SHIFT - Foresight to Inspire Transformational Futures:
Systemic disruptions - from geoeconomic shocks to emerging technologies - are redistributing trillions of dollars. How can leaders leverage deep uncertainty to create sustainable value? The answer lies not in prediction, but in preparation. Roger Spitz introduces his acclaimed AAA Framework, enabling leaders to build Antifragile foundations that grow stronger with shocks, develop an Anticipatory mindset, and use Agility to bridge today’s choices with tomorrow’s possibilities. The winners will be those who anticipate and adapt; the rest risk irrelevance.
